Can't believe this great news hopefully this moneys put towards a young, quick goalscorer. Bent had lost it this season seemed very disinterested so 2.5 million is better than i ever thought we could get for him. Now it's up to Moyes to use the money wisely and with the african nations coming up we might be able to find a bargain there.

Let's not be harsh on Kenwright on this matter about Ipswich gettinga percentage. After all, that is a clause that buying clubs use to keep down the basic/upfront fee. Would you have expected us to make a profit on Bent - I know I wouldn't have expected it.

However, if we do sell Kroldup at a significant reduction on what we bought him for then questions need to be asked.

£2m profit? thats the first bit of good business ive seen at efc in all my 21 years

lets pray for a replacement

To TRUE, just see how things are changing we actually sell a bought in player for a profit. As for the percantage to Ipswich ( 250K) that is pretty much standard practice, lets face it , I though we'd have to give him away

DM must have something lined up, can't believe we would let ANYONE go if he hasn't looked at the consequences

And as for 2 million profit on Bent, that is superb business by the club. Bent is an average premiership centre forward. ocassionally brilliant but more often than not falls short of the standard required.
He always starts well at a club and then loses interest (9 clubs in 10 years proves that)
He was the same at Leicester City, and will be the same at Charlton, plus from personal experience i can vouch that he is a complete nob-head

personal experience - do tell!!

the ex-trainee Physio from Ipswich works at my place (Shell UK) and she said that he is a complete arrogant twat.

Trundle? Nah he'd take longer than beattie to adapt. Nugent? Prob another john Stead goals galore and then it all dry's up. Anelka? already distanced himself. still a 400% profit on bent. ok ye its 2M but the percentage makes it sound so much better.
